Sadly three of these articles were three popular games dropping Linux support due to anticheat (GTA 5, Apex Legends, Roblox), then there were two of the SteamOS on non-Deck console.

It seems that the anticheat situation is still sadly the main blocker for many, so here's hoping that in 2025 we'll see something 🤞.

In any case, happy New Year everyone!

Quoting: tastyjerkWhat does "Multiplayer Reintroduced" mean under the "Later" section of the graphic? Multiplayer is in the game right now, so are they removing it with Unstable? Or is there some sort of a multiplayer revamp on the way?

Basically yeah. Since parts of the multiplayer are being rewritten to accomodate more optimization needed for the new features and protections, it will be unavailable in the first unstable versions, so servers will have to stick to the stable for 41.78.16 for a while.

Vulkan and Wayland or OpenGL and Wayand? I have the trouble with the latter myself.

It's also worth noting that the game was developed on Linux using FOSS tools specifically!

With anti-cheat, at least on BattlEye side for Escape from Tarkov, the problem is that it's missing a custom module used for entering the raids. The good thing is that the current implementation at least allow entering the game, navigate the menus and do offline practice round, but entering online throws error.

Seems it's BattlEye that needs to add missing modules to Proton's BattlEye implementation, and they are busy with other stuff, I guess it doesn't help that Escape from Tarkov is not on Steam, too.

So yeah, it still needs some non game developer attention too to add the missing features, not sure if other games are affected?

Genuine question; what's MangoApp?

I guess it's a custom engine with OpenGL on all platforms?

Also nice to see it on PC and Linux natively! Originally it was CD Projekt that was responsible for making Windows port, but it never came to light.

The list of Steam games using XIGNCODE3 can be found on SteamDB: https://steamdb.info/tech/AntiCheat/XIGNCODE3/ [External Link]

It was possible to list them using PCGW as well here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Special:SearchByProperty/:Anticheat-20middleware [External Link] but for some reason it stopped working :huh:

EDIT: Turned out it was caused by SemanticMediaWiki being problematic and getting phased out in favor of Cargo; here's the proper page listing all XIGNCODE3 games on PCGW: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/XIGNCODE3 [External Link]
